General Eaton terminates high-voltage underground cable on deadfront apparatus such as transformers, switches, and switchgear with its Cooper PowerE series 600/900 A, 15/25 kV Class BOL-TE deadbreak connector. It is fully shielded and submersible and meets the requirements of IEEET Std 386E-2016— “Separable Insulated Connector Systems.”
The capacitive test point on the insulating plug provides a means of testing the circuit without disturbing the bolted connection.
In addition to the capacitive test point feature on the insulating plug, Eaton offers an optional capacitive test point similar to its Cooper Power series 200 A elbows. This allows the use of the Type “TPR” faulted circuit indicators and provides a hotstick operable means of determining circuit condition when used with high-impedance voltage sensing devices designed for test points.
The BOL-T is rated to 600 A continuous current when used with aluminum connectors. It is rated to 900 A or a shear bolt are selected using the catalog numbering system.
BOL-T connectors are designed for use on solid dielectric cable (XLPE or EPR) with extruded semi-conductive shields and concentric neutral, with or without a jacket.
Installation on jacketed concentric neutral cable may require additional sealing material. Cold shrinkable adapters are available for tape shield, linear corrugated and drain wire cable adaptation for use with deadbreak connectors.

General Eaton’s Cooper Power™ series loadbreak elbow connector is a fully-shielded and insulated plug-in termination for connecting underground cable to transformers, switching cabinets and junctions equipped with loadbreak bushings. The elbow connector and bushing insert comprise the essential components of all loadbreak connections.
The loadbreak elbow connector is a fully rated 200 A switching device, designed in accordance to IEEE Std 386™-2006 standard.
Eaton’s loadbreak elbows are molded using high quality peroxide-cured insulating and semi-conducting EPDM rubber. Standard features include a coppertop connector, tin-plated copper loadbreak probe with an ablative arc-follower tip and stainless steel reinforced pulling-eye. An optional capacitive test point, made of corrosion resistant plastic, is available for use with fault indicators (see Catalog Sections CA320002EN and
CA320003EN).
Cable ranges are designed to accept a wide range of cable conductor and insulation sizes with just three elbows and accommodate cable manufactured to either AEIC or ICEA standards.
The coppertop compression connector is a standard item to transition from the cable to the loadbreak probe. An aluminum crimp barrel is inertia-welded to a copper lug. The aluminum barrel makes the connector easy to crimp and the copper lug ensures a reliable, tight, cool operating connection with the loadbreak probe.
(Photo on left is shown with the integral jacket seal without test point. Photo on right is shown without jacket seal with test point.)
Optional integral jacket seal The optional integral jacket seal provides a quick and easy means to sealing the cable jacket to prevent moisture ingress. Our jacket seal is molded to the loadbreak elbow eliminating the need for separate cable sealing products. It’s available with braided ground strap/bleeder wire for terminating Tape shielded cable. (See Figure 4.)
